Co-owner Melissa Schumann says The Falcon Bar & Gallery will open the first week of September and will serve as an extension to the art shows the shop already hosts. There will be craft beers and wine available and the space will be dedicated to mainly solo shows.

I got a sneak peek of the spot when it was open for the Ricky Powell World Famous Slide Show last Saturday night (Powell was an attraction all by himself – here’s video of another show). The bar is located right next door to Mother Falcon at 819 Washington Street (at the corner of Washington and Hyer Avenue). The back room was closed off, but there was a DJ, photo booth and Powell’s photos on the walls in the front room — a far cry from what it will look like in September when it officially opens.

Hours will be 4-midnight Monday – Thursday, noon – 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday and noon – midnight on Saturday. You can monitor the progress at motherfalconclothing.com

So without further adieu, here are my suggestions on where to go once you clock out today.

Mother Falcon Strikes Back: Anything “Star Wars” catches my attention, and I loved the tie in for this art show (lasting until Sept. 15) at this Thornton Park clothing shop. All the art is “Star Wars”-inspired and you can check it out from 8 – 11:30 p.m. tonight.
